hmmm

Lammster, I got your postcard. Thanks so much for that and the letter! You know you made my afternoon 🙂

PromoGuy’s Monday Mission 2.32

1. If I could guarantee that the Fashion Police would not lay the

smackdown on you, which favorite out-of-style article of clothing do you wish

you could wear right now? Well, I don’t know if they’ve ever been in style, at least on the Earth that we know, but wouldn’t it be cool if we could all wear Elvish clothing? For real, though, I think I’d like to get back to wearing those broomstick skirts, you know, the huge flowing ones made of silk or something like that? lol.

2. In your opinion, who is famous but shouldn’t be? Probably some of the new girl groups or the made for tv bands. Some of them are good, but some of them are so bad.

3. Are there any new movies or TV shows that you are forward to this fall?I’d like to see the CSI spinoff, and that Push, Nevada show looks interesting, although I’d never figure it out

4. If you had a time machine that you could use only one time (there and

back), where would you go and what would you do?Probably back to the middle ages, just so I could dress up. (Hey, would I get to keep the dress? lol.)

5. What cologne of perfume do you like to wear? Which brand do you prefer

that your partner wear?Right now I’m wearing AE Alive. I really like Bath&Body Works Happiness. I’d like to try Coco Mademoiselle if I ever had any money. And erm, I don’t have a partner, but if I did, I’d like him to wear Cool Water.

6. Do you recall your first “French kiss?” Tell me about how that felt,

and how it came about. Do you like them?Umm, I don’t actually remember the first time, but I know we did it… it was a little unusual. I just remember being caught up in the moment and loving every second that I was with him. Yeah. Until he remembered that he was a jerk. No, I’m not bitter.

7. Excluding your partner…If you had the opportunity, who would you most

like to Frech kiss? Orlando Bloom, of course. Or Jason Behr.

BONUS: Can’t you see that it’s late at night?

But it’s not… at least not here. In the Philippines, I suppose it is.

Wow. what a weekend. I got a dvd/tv/vcr player, got to watch the lotr dvd (at a friends, before I got the player), got my antique guitar appraised, went fabric shopping for my Legolas costume and found some perfect fabrics, spent the night at said friend’s apartment, and got up really frigging early to go on a 32 mile bike ride.

OMB am I sore and tired.

And I got a Legolas standup from Best Buy’s book display. Even if he has one leg, he’s life-size (I think…) and I can hold his hand, lol. I’m not obsessed. I’m using it for costume references. Really.

Oh, and I finally got some elf ears, lol. We’ll have to see how they fit 🙂

An interesting article on Legolas

oh, and I’ll have to get the elf ears tomorrow.

Well, I did it. I made it to the end of everything I have coherently written for my novel. From now on it will be trying to gather up the jottings from my notebooks, unfinished tales, and completely new stuff, hopefully not crap. Wouldn’t it be glorious if someday this actually got made into a novel?

I might actually get the elf-ears tonight… I know, I’m weird, live with it. Who said I had a life outside of my fantasy world?

Friday Five (.org)
1. Do you have a car? If so, what kind of car is it? I don’t have a car. I use my parents’ Saturn or Toyota wagon. I want a car *sniff*
2. Do you drive very often? Not too much. I carpool with my dad to work, so the only times I really drive are on weekends.
3. What’s your dream car? A Chrystler Sebring convertible, green with either a tan or black top. Haven’t decided yet.
4. Have you ever received a ticket?Not yet… I almost got one for running a red, but I guess the guy saw I didn’t have any priors so he didn’t.
5. Have you ever been in an accident? I was in a small accident when I was relatively young, but it could have been worse. We think it was an insurance scam cause the woman driving the car said she had whiplash, but she’d been weaving toward our car for a while. And if my mom hadn’t been watching her, she would have slammed into the left backseat–where I was sitting. As it was, she permanently screwed up our bumper. But all’s well. Remind me to tell you about the blind guy who totalled the car I was supposed to get. I have to eat lunch now.

today was…odd.
Work wasn’t horrible, I did two mini-preps and listened to Josh Groban (and tried to avoid singing out loud) and Lord of the Rings. We had pizza at journal club (God I will hate it when I have to actually do that) cause it’s SueMin’s last week and my last month, and I didn’t burn myself with phenol. I even did a search for elf ears (see the other blog for that one). So work wasn’t the problem.
And I have all this LotR stuff, and I’m about to make a Legolas outfit. I hope. So that shouldn’t be getting me down.
I was going to stop by Johnnie Brock’s Dungeon (a costume rental place) to see about their selection of prosthetic ears and blond wigs, but Dad was driving, so no dice. But that wasn’t a *big* deal, I can go later. I’m gonna try to go there, Music Folk to get my guitar repaired, and the fabric store to start getting fabric for my costume. Should I be especially ambitious and make an elven dress as well as a Lego outfit?
Oh, and get my mom to Best Buy so I can get a dvd player. I really want to see LotR on dvd! I will probably watch it with Sarah first though.
But when I got home after work, all I wanted to do was curl up with a fantasy and read. It almost got me to the point where I wanted to write some of mine (and I really need to) but I just couldn’t get the oomph. We went out to eat for dinner, and I just had to bring the book along, even though I rarely do that anymore. I just felt sad and lonely and generally melancholic, as Meg so aptly put it. I don’t know why. It was just one of those nights when you really miss having friends. Offline ones, anyway.
And does anyone else get those random, I-wanna-be-a-rock-star moments? This particular moment of insanity brought on by, what else, the movie Rock Star, premiering on cable this weekend. Would that I was independently wealthy so I could be such and write when I wanted to and have DSL.
But it doesn’t get you friends. sigh.
